Nice work, if you can get it. I wonder if the council was contractly obliged to pay the golden goodbye? Obviously there was a breakdown in monitoring such expenses. Maybe the council might want to try to claw back some of the money. I doubt it due to even worse publicity

He would be out of luck where I live. In winter my county can't even afford to put salt on the b-roads, but the adjoining counties can. So you drive nicely through Berkshire then slide into a ditch in Oxfordshire.

You think a local council boss has some special entitlement to largesses from the taxpayers simply because he is a 'boss'?

I think your "Irony Detection Chip" is malfunctioning Tony.

I don't know. Looking around the various leasing companies, the all singing all dancing v8 seems to be between £1600-£2200 a Month. And in my experience of councils, they are hardly renowned for shopping around for the best deal.
